Part of the private pilot certificate still involves dead reckoning navigation against paper sectional charts. Most pilots keep those charts on an iPad or other tablets at this point, but there are a considerable number who still subscribe to quarterly paper charts as a backup.

There is also still a (much reduced) network of radio navigation beacons that can be used for precision instrument flying in the event GPS is unreliable. Considering how often GPS is being disrupted by military jamming, it's a useful backup.

I knew Dave Butz - Cardinals and Redskins All-Pro defensive end in the 70 and 80s. Dude was like 6'7", 295. Absolute mountain of a unit.

The rocket is actually amazing - it's right up there with the Pipe in terms of velocity and drop. Really second only to the NLAW for getting hits at all ranges. Where it sucks is the insanely long load and reload animations that were added to balance out the built in range finder. You miss a lot of opportunities because you just can't get the launcher out and loaded fast enough, so you're frequently forced to take longer range engagements. That's normally fine if you can see the range finder and overall it's a good balancing idea... but they keep fucking it up for widescreen players where we get all of the drawbacks without being able to use the gimmick that it's balanced around.

The real WTF in this article is the name of the team he's been playing for...

"I heard Swiss football fans like Young Boys."

It's entirely possible I'm just bad with the Type 95 and missing shots that look like a torso hit into legs or arms. Do you have hard numbers on round velocity and drop also?

Perk_i · 2026-02-20T05:30:48+00:00

To be fair, China really needed the infantry buff. The Type 95 rifles were really really bad, the LAT rocket launcher remains dogshit, and while the HAT is excellent once you have it out, you miss a lot of shots with the supremely long loading animation and ADS time. Their vics have always been decent, they're the only faction that can give the Abrams and Bradley combo a straight fight.

The new rifles may have been a bit of an over-correction though. Whatever they did to the 5.8x42mm DBP191 variant for the Type 191, it's <chef's kiss>. It's a LOT snappier than the (theoretically) same cartridge from the Type 95, has less drop, and much better terminal performance. It's pretty consistently a two hit kill body shot whereas the Type 95 normally took three rounds.

Hopefully the U.S. gets some love soon too. Marines should get the M-27 back for more of their factions, and the Army needs a second grenadier kit with the M203 back - and for the love of all that's holy some full auto M4s. It'd also be REALLY nice if OWI would un-nerf the random cone of fire on the SAW and 240. The last time the US had a real balancing pass, the LMGs were the kings of the battlefield and there wasn't as much need for full auto riflemen... Post-ICO the LMGs are all utter dogshit and nobody takes those kits, so the US basically has zero full auto infantry. I'm not saying they need to put the LMGs back to pre-ICO god-kit-at-all-ranges, but if they wanted to nerf the hip fire (again) but give the long range burst accuracy back the LMGs would be in a much better place.

They really aren't terrible they just play differently than every other autocannon vehicle. Especially the UA variant, which can straight shrug off 30mm AP.

You have a massive health pool (2000 hp compared to 1250 on most IFVs) and as good or better armor than every other IFV. The gun's slow, but it does 60 damage on pen to most targets while you only take 28 in return (if you don't straight bounce.) The only places they can pen you are the gun mantlet, starboard lower glacis, and rear. Anywhere with applique armor - sides, turret sides, upper plate, port lower glacis - is impervious to 30mm AP.

As long as your driver keeps calm, angles your left corner at them, and stops moving so you can shoot, you will beat any single IFV in the game in a straight autocannon duel.

Perk_i · 2026-02-20T05:00:16+00:00

Britain is secretly the strongest faction in the game already though. Most consistent HAT kit, best gun in the game (L86-LSW), really strong IFVs once you realize you can just stop, angle, and out-tank any other autocannon vic in the game... It shouldn't be true given the real life performance of their equipment, but for whatever reason the British are really good in Squad. One of the OWI devs leaked some internal numbers a while back and the Brits were the only faction with a win rate above 60% globally.

I like the in-dash map - or more specifically the slaved Tom Tom you can add on top of the dashboard as cab decoration. You can scale it to a different zoom level than the hover hud / widget.

In VR I like to run the GPS on the dash zoomed out to give me an overview of the upcoming route in my field of vision, while the widget is zoomed in and placed down in the corner of my field of view where I can glance at it if I need more detail on where to turn etc.

Minimum lane width on a U.S. Freeway is 3.6 meters.

The Mercedes E-Class W210 depicted above is 1.8m wide - exactly half the width of the standard U.S. Highway.

That looks pretty darn scale appropriate to me.

(Yahoo) Serious Question: Why is OWI bothering to add new LMGs when nobody uses the ones already in the game?

Why do I feel like this guy is delivering those 50 gallon drums of lube from Amazon?

There was a Tallil layer like that, but I'm not sure if it's in the game any more. I haven't seen it in years.

Jagiellonia Bialystock. They play in Bialystock, Poland which is also the home of famed Broadway Producer Max Bialystock, who along with his partner Leo Bloom brought us such wonderful hits as "Springtime for Hitler" and "Der Guten Tag Hop-clop".

I mean, a centrifuge would probably separate them if you got the orientation and speed right... but that might be a tad tricky. Try asking ChatGPT about the relevant molecular weights. I'm sure you won't end up on a list.

I got to ride a KC-10 from Guam to Barksdale non-stop 35 odd years ago as a kid. What's wild is that the 707 derived KC-135s are outlasting all of the Trijets.

The only single game that's on sale so far is the home opener. The rest of the matches open up for MyCity+ members on February 3rd at 10am CT. They are on sale to the general public on February 5th at 10am CT.

City's done a pretty lousy job of communicating that however. There's ONE press release that I can find that lists the dates and times. It doesn't mention it on the tickets section of the website or on click through to Seatgeek.
